Computer A is sending a 10 MByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 100 Mbps links of 2000 km length each. Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2 x 108 m/s. Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1480 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible. If transmission starts at time t=0, at which time (in seconds) does the first bit arrive at the switch connecting link 1 and link 2? (What is the propagation delay for link 1?)

Question

Computer A is sending a 10 MByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 100 Mbps links of 2000 km length each.
Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2 x 108 m/s.
Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1480 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible.

If transmission starts at time t=0, at which time (in seconds) does the first bit arrive at the switch connecting link 1 and link 2? (What is the propagation delay for link 1?)
